If you find yourself without emojis on a tablet, follow these steps to get a free emoji keyboard that can be used on most tablets.

Steps

1

Make sure you have enough room on your tablet. About 20MB of space is plenty. Also be sure that your tablet is somewhat new (2008 or more recent) so that the keyboard will be compatible with your tablet.

2

Go into the app store. Whether you use Amazon's or Apple's App Store or the Google Play store, search in apps - not in games - for TouchPal Emoji Keyboard. Find and download this free app onto your tablet.

3

Change your keyboard to TouchPal X. Once the keyboard is downloaded, go into your tablet's settings and find your Keyboard settings. On an iPhone, this is in Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards. Find the corresponding place in your Settings on your device, then find TouchPal X in the list of available keyboards and select it.

The keyboard may require little information and some customizable settings to fully configure it for use. Once it is fully installed, you're ready to go.
